Bringing Culture to a Different World - Chapter 1031
1031 Chapter 1,555, virus-like spread
“Why are there still so many left?”
In the workshop that produced the laughter mixture, the ruler of the entire factory, sonalen, grabbed the remaining laughter pills in the wooden box with one hand.
The day before yesterday was the day that Blackbay City distributed the laughter pills to the entire city.
According to past experiences, the laughter pills in the workshop would be quickly snatched up, and even if there were surplus laughter pills, they would be exploited by the person in charge of distributing them.
In the end, the result that sonalen would get would be that the laughter pills had been distributed.
And now, there was a whole wooden box of laughter pills placed in front of sonalen. There were at least tens of thousands of them in there.
The population of this city was only a little over 150,000. There were actually tens of thousands of laughter pills left?
It was too abnormal.
“Sir, I don’t know what’s going on either.”
A man who was as fat as a ball kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead as he said.
“How many laughter pills did you and your men take away?”
Sonalen raised his head and sized up the man and his men behind him.
The laughter pills were the real hard currency of this city. It was much harder than money like the eagle claw coins.
After so many years, everyone in this city had become addicted to the laughing pills, so many people were at the level of ‘you can not eat, but you must have the laughing pills’.
Therefore, these humans who were in charge of distributing the laughing pills could live well in this city just by using their hands.
“This… how would I dare, Sir?”The Man’s face looked very aggrieved.
“Don’t try to use lies to deal with me! Human!”
Sonalen’s face turned extremely cold. His left hand turned into a gray-white tentacle and suddenly wrapped around the man’s neck.
The suffocating feeling swept over the man. His face was flushed with blood.
“I… I stole before! My Lord! I even stole a lot! But… this time… I really didn’t take a single one!”
The man cried out these words with a painful voice. The tentacles around his neck quickly disappeared. He sat down on the ground and panted heavily.
Solalon knew that his subordinates were a bunch of cowards who could not withstand torture. With such a big box of laughter mixture placed here, if this man wanted it, he could take it all for himself. There was no need to take it back at all.
But the most crucial problem was..
“Did you eat all the laughter pills that you stole before?”Solalon asked.
“I ate some of them myself, and sold the rest to the pariahs and pharmacists at a high price…”
The man did not dare to lie anymore. He immediately knelt on the ground and revealed his family’s wealth.
“Then why didn’t you steal some this time?”Solalon asked.
Although he had stipulated that these distributors were not allowed to secretly take the laughing pills, creatures like humans were not creatures that could be restrained by the regulations.
Sonalen only punished them when he encountered such a situation. He turned a blind eye to the other occasions.
The laughing pills had huge benefits in this city. This greedy human had no reason to give up the benefits that he had obtained.
“Because… because… the pill of laughter is not valuable anymore.”The man gritted his teeth and said something that might anger Sonalon.
“Not valuable? Impossible… the humans in this city can’t live without this thing now.”
Sonalon grabbed the pink pill in his hand. This color made people think of pink flesh and blood.
This small pill was the ‘hope’that supported the people of Black Bay City to survive.
“It’s true, Lord Solalon.”He shut his mouth again as he said this. He was thinking if he would live if he said it out loud, or if he would live if he kept silent.
“Say it out loud… I Promise I won’t kill you,”Solalon said.
“Three… three days ago, I went to sell the laughing pills. Although it was diluted by the pharmacist, no one bought it.”The man sounded very aggrieved, it was like the face of a businessman after his business went bankrupt.
“I was wondering if my clients were not those poor pariahs. They were all gangs that occupied a lot of territory, but all the gangs in this city were not interested in the laughing pills.”The more the man spoke, the more aggrieved he became. “At first, I thought that some of them had quit the laughing pills, but it’s too abnormal for so many people in the city to quit.”
“And then? Did you find the reason?”
Sonalen immediately asked. The Laughter Pill was the cornerstone of maintaining the city, if the people were not interested in the laughter pill.
Their rule over the city would be on the verge of collapse.
“I asked a gang member. He told us that there is a drug called little tyrant that is much more effective than the laughter pill.”The man said the words that might be killed by SONALEN under great pressure.
“Little Tyrant?”Sonalen said the unfamiliar word, “You must have that thing, right?”
The man was once again in a state of hesitation when he was asked about this. It was obvious that he knew that little tyrant was now a valuable hard currency to him.
Greedy humans would always find ways to protect their own interests.
Tentacles extended out from Sonalen’s body once again and grabbed the man’s limbs, turning him upside down. After several violent shakes, five origin crystals fell out of the man’s pocket.
“If you lie to me again, your head will stay here. I’ll ask again, do you still have these protocrystals?”
Sonalon controlled his tentacles to put the man back on the ground, forcing him to ask again.
In the end, the man’s fear overcame his greed. He quickly opened the sewn-up pocket on his body, and a large bag of small overlord protocrystals was placed on the long table.
“Sir, it’s really gone,”the man said in a trembling voice.
“Where did these things come from…”
When Sonalen saw the large pile of crystals on the table, he remembered that his third sister had led people to destroy a gang that manufactured contraband some time ago.
However, not only did the operation not completely destroy the contraband, it also became popular throughout the city.
This was bad news.
“I. . . I bought it from a member of the sewing gang,”the man immediately said. “He… They also have a product called the arcade, and the effect seems to be better.”
“Sewing gang, take your men and disappear from my sight.”
After SONALEN gave this order to the man, the man immediately rolled out of Sonalen’s room.
He reached out and picked up a crystal on the table. However, the moment he touched the crystal… the burning sensation caused by the power of faith in the crystal made him let go of his finger.
“It’s not magic power… What is this thing?”Sonalen resisted the burning sensation on his finger and picked up the crystal again to size it up.
A line of words “Two-headed dragon”was engraved on the surface of the stone.
